While it may feel alien, it’s important to remember that menopause is a natural process for just about all women. Your period will likely grow irregular, you may lose sleep at night, and you may also feel waves of hot flashes coming on throughout any given day. This very natural process is not always a pleasant one, and supporting your body during this time of change is important. Essential oils can provide you with the additional support you need to help you to feel better, and knowing what essential oils to use to assist your body is important.
For those who haven’t experienced a menstrual cycle in the past 12 months, it’s a safe bet to assume you have entered menopause. Essential oils can be used during this menopause period, and they can be used during the perimenopause period that occurs before menopause actually begins. This natural decline in reproduction occurs when a woman reaches her 40’s and 50’s, when her ovaries no longer release the eggs that trigger menstruation to occur.
There are some conditions that can cause menopause to start early. These are premature ovarian failure and induced menopause. Premature ovarian failure occurs when the ovaries prematurely stop producing eggs, and your levels of estrogen and progesterone begin to change. This isn’t always permanent, and ovaries may begin producing eggs again in some instances. Induced menopause occurs when the ovaries are removed for medical reasons, or when medical interventions cause the ovaries to stop working. Radiation and chemotherapy have been known to cause induced menopause.
Menopause not caused by medical induction or premature ovarian failure typically comes in 3 stages, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Broken down, these stages consist of:
With essential oils, you can help to alleviate the symptoms associated with all stages of menopause, giving women some much-needed relief during this time of change.
Each woman may experience different symptoms during different stages of menopause. Here is a list of symptoms that essential oils have been proven to help.
Menopause can come with a wide variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms, and choosing the right essential oils can help to address them all. The best way to use essential oils for menopause benefits is with a nebulizing diffuser which will provide you with strong and effective dose of pure essential oils very quickly.
Essential oils for menopause relief can be used alone, or combined with one another to create custom blends that address a wide variety of different concerns.
